LOST AT SEA
(From the Quiver of Madame Roland)
The reign of the general will is the only reign that
maintains public felicity.
All nations are not capable of enjoying liberty; the
same nation cannot support it equally at all times.

Tyranny equally debases him who exercises it and
those whom it enslaves; with it all lose the sentiment
of truth, the idea of justice, and the taste of good.
Bare competence, or comfort acquired by labor,
makes men honest and the state happy; in this it is
with the nation as with the individual, too many wants
excite cupidity and engender corruption.

Political liberty, for each individual of a society,
consists in doing everything that he judges proper for
his own happiness, in what does not injure others.
It is the power of being happy without doing harm to
any one.

Miss Ruth Nellie Rinehart, 21, Portland, Or.,
nurse, was reported missing from the Canadian Pacific
Steamship Princess Louise when the vessel docked to
day with 175 passengers from Alaska points.
Ship’s officers said the girl, who boarded ship at
Wrangell, Alaska, was last seen shortly before mid
night Sunday, when she knocked at the pilot house
doorand asked for a man named “Doug.” A stiff gale
was blowing at the time, they said.
The officer on watch advised her to go below to her
stateroom, Captain A. Slater, the steamship commander
told the police. She was assisted to the lower deck,
he said, and was last seen running toward the stern.
Captain Slater ordered the ship searched when Miss
Rinehart failed to appear Monday morning, but offi
cers failed to find any trace of her. The girl’s Portland
address was given as 3523 Seventy-second avenue.
Police are investigating.
The following notice appeared in The Oregonian of
Oct. 8th:
Miss Ruth Nellie Rinehart was graduated from the
nurses’ training school at Emanuel hospital with the
May class of 1929, at the end of her work at the hos
pital. She came to Portland from her home in Wran
gell, Alaska, to take the training here in September,
1927. She was a superior nurse and an excellent
student, and finished her course among the leaders in
the class, according to officials at the hospital.

True courage belongs only to ihe free man. Of
what can those be capable who are nothing except by
the will of the master? And to what obligations
would he believe himself restricted, who must fancy
himself of a nature superior to that of the people he
commands?

Miss Nellie Rinehart, who graduated from Che-
mawa in 1927, is reported lost from the Princess Lou
ise, Canadian Pacific steamship plying Alaskan waters.
Miss Nellie was a favorite and superior student while
here and on her graduation she took up professional
nursing at Emanual hospital in Portland, where she
added to her splendid reputation. Many old-time
friends will be distressed to learn of her tragic fate.
The following dispatch appeared from Vancouver, B.
C., on October 7th:
>
If it be true that the value which we attach to things
makes almost their whole importance, and that the
force of ideas and the power of imagination are capable
of diverting us from the actual impressions which they
make on our senses, it must be acknowledged that
physical ills are not the most dangerous for an ele
vated and delicate soul.
Following her graduation she continued to do
special work at the hospital and also outside nursing.
Her last period of employment was in June of this
year.
Because she had been away from her parents for
many years while a student at Chemawa Indian School
and Emanuel hospital, Miss Rinehart planned and
looked forward to the trip to Alaska this summer, her
friends at the hospital said yesterday. She left Port
land early in July for her home, planning to return in
the autumn to continue her work in the hospital.
Miss Rinehart lived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. I.
L. Howe, 3523 Seventy-second street Southeast, from
the time of her graduation until two months ago.
